Discover the breathtaking site of the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge nestled within the verdant forests of British Columbia's Campbell River region. This magnificent suspension bridge offers sweeping views of the surrounding wilderness. Suspended 64 meters above the canyon floor, the bridge stretches for 60 meters, giving adventurers a heart-pounding experience. Below, the thunderous roar of the Elk Falls creates a mesmerizing scene—a powerful cascade plunging into a pool that reflects the emerald hues of the old-growth forest.
